K-State is up big. I figure every little bit helps at this point.

Duke up 10 on Louisville. Louisville is probably safely in, but a loss would give Drake a better shot at avoiding the first four.

Lunardi still has us as the top play-in team https://twitter.com/espnlunardi/status/1369823802876719107?s=21

Excellent results today! Here’s your Thursday cheering guide. Games 1-4 are pretty interchangeable in terms of how much they would benefit the Bulldogs. Reminder, these are just my guesses on what we want based on other projections. - MARYLAND over Michigan State. 10:30 AM. I’m confident a Sparty loss would put them behind Drake in seeding order. (Some consider this a double-bubble game. I think the Terps stay ahead of us with a loss but I could be wrong. Regardless, best outcome is MSU loss).
- MIAMI over Georgia Tech. 1:30 PM. GT loss to Miami moves Bulldogs ahead of them.
- VIRGINIA over Syracuse. 11:00. Opportunity to squeeze the Orange out of the bracket.
- NEVADA over Boise State*. 4:30 PM. BSU loss caps the MWC at two bids. See below.
- FRESNO STATE over Colorado State*. 10:30 pm. I spoke with the coach for the Rams over a glass of scotch and he told me he’s 100% going to win the MWC tournament. Let’s see if he follows through on that promise.
- UNLV over Utah State*. 8:00. USU has least wiggle room of any MWC bubble team.
- SOUTH CAROLINA over Ole Miss. 8:00. Ole Miss is out with a loss, no big jump with a win.
- ST. JOHN’S over Seton Hall. 2:00. Double-bubble game. SHU has a better chance of a BE run.
- SDSU over Wyoming*. 2:00. One of the best things that can happen is SDSU winning the MWC Tournament. Worst? Boise gets a semifinal win over SDSU. So could be a silver lining if the Aztecs are upset here.
- OREGON STATE over ucla. 4:30. UCLA is in with a loss, outside chance they could fall behind Drake in seeding with a Q2 loss tomorow.
- INDIANA over Rutgers. 5:30. Debated putting this on the list. Lunardi has Rutgers pretty low but general consensus is Rutgers is too many spots ahead of Drake to catch them.
- FSU over Duke. 5:30. Duke probably has to make the ACC ‘ship to have a shot. But it’s Duke…
* As alluded to earlier in this thread, it’s pretty much consensus that 3 of the 8 “last four in/first four out” spots are occupied by MWC teams. Cheer for early mayhem in that tournament. The MWC is not getting 4 bids. Not happening. SDSU is a lock. A maximum of one team between USU and CSU is getting in. (They will likely meet up in the semis). Best case scenario: SDSU wins title against a team that is not USU or CSU.

Just off Lunardi's bracket, it's going to be hard to get out of the play-in game. All eyes will need to be on the Mountain West Tournament the next two days, particularly on the Boise State & Colorado State games. Likely if one wins and the other loses, that team takes Louisville's spot on the last four byes list. The only other result I see that could possibly help us off Lunardi's bracket is if Maryland absolutely destroys Michigan State tomorrow, but that could be stretch.

Not sure how Louisville is still ahead of us, but a loss by Georgia Tech against Miami tomorrow could also bump us up. That would be considered a bad loss for Georgia Tech.

All the bracketology guys are just making educated guesses, but the math looks decent if Duke and Syracuse lose tomorrow. If the BracketMatrix consensus - or just Lunardi - is correct, Drake has three spots of cushion to stay in the field, but SLU and Xavier are done. If Cuse and Duke lose without passing Drake, and a CSU/USU game becomes a loser leaves town game, you start to run out of teams to pass Drake without a bad thief.
Still won’t rest comfortably until I hear Gumbel announce Drake’s name, but there could be some clarity on the consensus at least tomorrow.

Fresno State is not a good team. They struggled against CSU during the season and the will struggle during the tournament. They had a good game against New Mexico, so let's hope they are playing over their heads right now. If nothing else they will be coming in to the CSU game with confidence.

I'll say it again, we also need Tank cleared this week by the doctors. If tank is not officially cleared to play this week, then no matter what, we're not getting out of the play-in game.
